What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

My hubby took one look at the photo and said "Hm, carrot cake. What's wrong with that?"Did I mention he'll eat just about anything? And yes, even a cake with Elmo's toe-fungus covered foot on it. (He's been hardened over the years by my "cooking".)

Even close up, you can't tell what those three appendages are! I'm thinking grubs....btw- this site has caused me to loiter far too long around the baked goods departments of my local grocery stores, even though I never buy sweet stuff. Just hoping for a "wreck sighting!"

Thanks for starting that drive! I thought it was a terrific idea and a great way for those of us with limited philanthropic resources to band together and do something great. This post proves what a good idea it is. You continue to impress me!
